Playground flashcards.
Thirty-two cards from the school’s Playground: the words our bodies do there — balance, jump, swing — the things on the ground, from the ball to the tunnel, and the five manners that make play work together. Every card carries its picture word, the words to say together and one game — the whole playground, ready to print.
Every card in the set.
Each card has its own page: the picture and short, practical notes for grown-ups — what it is for, how to use it, how to print it. Tap any card to open it.

You do not need a plan or a printer schedule. Pick one idea, try it for two minutes and see what happens.
- 01
Playground word hunt
Take three cards to the real playground and hunt the words live — run on the path, the real slide, the real bench. Saying the word while the body does it sticks twice as deep.
- 02
Do the word
Pick a card and do it in the living room: jump, balance on a tape line, push a box. The picture word becomes the instruction — and your child becomes the game show host.
- 03
Manners rehearsal
Before the playground, play the five manners as a quick story: someone wants the swing — what do we do? Help, share, stop, take turns, wait — five cards, five answers, one calm trip out.
- 04
Card treasure drop
Hide four cards around the playground (or the flat), find them and DO each word on the spot. Finding plus doing is the whole set in one round of giggles.
